Hummer versus Soviet UAZ - which is better off-road?

Grab some G54 merch here - www.en.garage54.ru/
Sorry once again for the late upload. This is an older episode from back in 2020 when we still had the Hummer, and we thought it'd be a fun one to share. Hope you enjoy, and for Saturday we've prepared something pretty special.

The Soviet UAZ reminds me so much of the original International Scout 800 from the 1960's. Simple, a bit underpowered but unstoppable off road.

[@blejku7790]

Because, as usual with the Russians, half of it was stolen and spied on. Now uaz has almost not changed, it's the same shit as before :)

Does too. I worked for IH

[@gamernerd7139]

They are simple to fix too. Which is big plus when overlanding in remote corners of the planet. Ensure the mechanical componets serviced and checked. Keep some essential spares. No much creature comforts but does its primary function well.

Here's an idea for a video. Take two Lada engines and merge them together so that they are 180* apart and sharing a single crankshaft to create an eight cylinder boxer engine.

[@Jeesus353]

They've done an inline double and inline triple engine in the past

[@timothybayliss6680]

If you used two cranks that are gear driven it would do some weird stuff because one would be counter rotating.

[@nicholasagnew2792]

The main journals wouldn't accept two rods, you'd have machine skinny rods from like a subaru or something or grind Lada rods to half their original thickness, which is possible actually. Then you'd have to totally reinvent the oiling system...and put fuel injection on the motor...and adapt the monstrosity to a transmission...and cut apart a car for the thing to fit...

[@Klyis]

I'm in auto collision and restoration 30+years in America. I'm a GM guy. The H2 and Caddy is a rebodied GMC Yukon/ Chevy Tahoe. Having said that, my freedom dollars are on the UAZ. The Caddy likely has a Positraction diff in the rear, possibly two Torsen style diffs, better traction control that utilises the ABS to aid traction, and better suspension components.

[@H8er-Maker]

The biggest obstacle was the mosquitoes 🦟. The H2 has nothing in common with a Hummvee (H1). They were a mistake GM would like to forget. Huge, heavy & slow. Interior was full of Walmart grade plastic. I expect you'll be fabricating that thing soon. UAZ looked very similar to a International Scout. I'd rock that thing here in the states for sure.

[@blahorgaslisk7763]

There were only one "Real" model of Hummer, the first one! The rests are not really equivalent. Now I have personally never driven a H1, just the original Jeep and some other off-road vehicles. In the military I drove a lot of off road vehicles ranging from small four wheelers to six wheeled terrain capable trucks. Let's say even a Suzuki Samurai can do quite impressively if you know how to handle it. But that's a really low end off roader.

[@garycarpenter2932]

i had a samurai, and you are right. little 3cyl engine, but it was a tough little truck. 0-60 in an hour and a half. still though, it would handle some off road mud pretty good. now compared to a couple others i had, that were built for the fun, it didn't compare, still though, it wasn't bad.

[@andrasszabo7386]

Suzuki Samurai?? Don't make me laugh. It is easier to tip it over than an empty trash can.

[@garycarpenter2932]

@@andrasszabo7386 you never had one i see. i did, and yes, i built trucks to actually really off road. lockers in front and rear diffs. engines powerful enough that my license plate is RD RGE. yes, road rage. for my plate on my truck still. had it for 30 years now. and the shit i built earned it. but i tell you, those little things would surprise you if you ever did drive them off road. matter of fact, i gave my samuria to a friend who i went off roading with often to take to his hunting property in northern michigan to knock around with, drive to his various hunting spots. he was even surprised on what it would make it through.

[@peglor]

@@andrasszabo7386 The idea that it would tip over was based on a very modified roll test Consumer Reports made, presumably because the combination of low cost, reliability and off road performance scared the hell out of Jeep, who offer basically none of the above in stock form (Unless you get the specific off road versions, which are so heavy they sink to the axles in the same ground a Suzuki will drive across all day like it's nothing). It's pretty well documented now that Consumer Reports kept modifying their rollover swerve test on the Samurai, and after many attempts, still couldn't get the car to tip over, until they pretty much got a stunt driver, who hit the bend (Which had been considerably tightened from the standard test spec) at something like 80 mph (Which on its own is an achievement in a stock SJ/Samurai), and eventually it went over, though it's near certain every other off roader, SUV and quite a few cars of the same era would also have rolled in the same test. Video footage of it that leaked later showed them cheering when it finally rolled, partly due to finally getting the result they wanted from the test after hours of trying. The false message they, as a supposedly trusted independent test body, put out unfairly tarnished Suzuki's reputation in the US and tanked their sales, but kept the money rolling in for their friends in the American car industry at the consumers' expense. In response Suzuki said screw this and pulled out of the US, and were appreciated for the great vehicles they made everywhere else in the world - and in the US by people who know the history of the brand in more detail.

[@andrasszabo7386]

@@garycarpenter2932 I have only tried to drive one once. I can't remember what year it was produced in, but me and my friends had a lot of fun. We also tipped it over on its side multiple times in the local forest. We got it for free as an unwanted, and almost destroyed junk, so we used the hell out of it, until it became literally scrap.

We had this vehicle in the army, plains, mud, winter, -20 degrees Celsius, it went everywhere and didn't get stuck, it was ugly on outside, even uglier on inside, but it was able to cross kilometers across meadows and fields in the mud almost up to half a wheel. Simple, reliable, without any, any, not the slightest desire to flirt with, not luxury, but the most ordinary feeling in the vehicle. Hard, uncomfortable.But the first choice We had a bunch of vehicles, (I think they were called puch,and that they were made by the Austrian STAYER) They looked a lot like Mercedes G-classes, they also had Mercedes engines, on the road extremely comfortable, the cabin is a bit luxurious, although you can see the military purpose, but off-road zero. When I say zero, I mean zero, at least winter, mud, rain, snow. In the summer it might be different, but we were not interested in trying it. We had UAZ. We were at war and we were not interested in experimenting. Another good vehicle was the Fiat Campanola. It's a small vehicle with narrow tires that cut through the mud nicely, reliable, its only flaw, an open convertible, with a soft roof and tarpaulin that didn't reduce the cold much. But a good vehicle, reliable, capable.It looks very similar (certainly a faithful copy) of famouse American jeep from WW2, only a little smaller, I have that impression. We also had Austrian Pinzgauers, a spacious vehicle that looks a lot like a Volkswagen van (t2 or t3, the one from 1982,3,4,5, with the engine in the back)Quality made, spacious, good heating, but mud and fields are not for him, maybe in summer.It goes, it works, but it's a lot of trouble in a more extreme nature,in winter, and you have the feeling that you're taking a risk (some), and we shouldn't have allowed ourselves to do that.The vehicles that left a good impression were also the Russian ZILs (ZIL), they were almost 40 years old at the time, but they worked flawlessly, they started at -20 without major problems, (ours were all gasoline) and after that winter I was clear why weren't they already scrapped? Because you can simply count on them in such conditions. No beauty, no luxury, some feeling... hmmmm, what can you say,nothing ... but the sound of that powerful engine was like a sound, let's say a mixture a tank and a jet plane, your skin gets goosebumps when it goes uphill. Strong force,and you just feel that.The solid vehicle was a FAP (domestic vehicle,TRUCK , but with a Mercedes license, I think it was a 6*6, so it ran well, it just seems to me that it was a diesel and there were minor problems, sometimes, but again, it ran ,It didn't have the power of a ZIL, but it had a steering wheel that you turn with your little finger, inflating the tires from the cabin, etc., which at that time was, for us, like a Rolls Royce. .

[@baltazard133T]

This is a perfect video explaining how NOT to drive off road in the mud. If you want to make it anywhere and get any kind of traction in thick mud you need to keep your wheel speed up that way the tires can fling the stuck mud out of the grooves so they can be clear to try to grab traction again on the next rotation. Spinning the tires slowly in the mud is a futile exercising pain, keep your wheel speed up to make any headway!

Glad the H2 made it, power is king in that truck lol. Good stuff when you guys were just cruising around wheeling, seems like a great time.

[@huntsbychainsaw5986]

Two very different ways of overcoming similar challenges. The UAZ, with its simple light utilitarian build, works with physics to achieve mobility off-road where as the H2 with it's emphasis on comfort and power, has to use computer programming and complicated engineering to fight physics and achieve off-road mobility. Edit: The primary advantage for the UAZ is improved efficiency with ease of operation and maintenance. The advantage for the H2 is improved occupant comfort, reduced driver fatigue, and less manual intervention required. Each has its merits.

[@silentferret1049]

Going up hill on mud, tires are a big component but weight is also a big component. Too much weight then the vehicle has to have more traction to grip or dig for more grip. It can also dig ruts which can stop it so best case is good tires and light weight. The H2 is a heavy boy in any event. I think it might even be heavier than the caddy but not sure on this.

The origins of UAZ are coming from Gaz-69. Which was copied by USSR from German 1937 Daimler Benz G5. A dedicated off-road vehicle. So it is kind of unfair to compare UAZ to H2, which is basically a Chevrolet Tahoe, which is ... well...an oversized station wagon.

All SUVs used to have frames before they came out with crossovers. They were pickups with a full body instead of a box. All SUVs these days are just minivans.

[@Jacobtheunwise]

That's literally how every suv ever made is set up, pickup frame with suv body

No sabía que necesitaba una dosis de off-road, lo disfruté como si estuviera alli...me sorprende que la Cadillac del principio subiera mejor la pendiente que la Hammer...el UAZ lo hizo muy muy bien!!

[@ronbradshaw7404]

The problem was; filled tires. Make em spin, so they get fresh grip and see the difference. Horsepower makes the difference!

[@pflaffik]

That mud is the worst, too soft/wet for grip, but still too sticky/dry to clean itself from the tires. Agricultural tractor type tire with high and spaced out cams is whats needed for max self-cleansing up that hill.

I am surprised the H2 did as well as it did. I didnt think it would get past those trails. Bottoming out, ok, it did, no surprise, but considering how heavy it is, the tires, the wheelbase, it shows that at least, back in the day, (cant believe early 2000s are back in the day) vehicles were designed with a purpose. Nowadays, its all crossover shecars.

I been driving UAZ and i am amazed, just one thing could be better-bigger engine. 2.4l dizel was too weak for some terrains where we were going.

In that thin greasy mud, it's all about the tires. The only thing worse than wide tires on that stuff is wide low profile tires.

Cool vid. It would be neat to see how these all stack up against a real hummer instead of that gm knockoff. That uaz is pretty sweet. Reminds me of the old land rovers
